'• On Monday. the Isth inst., the remains of t e late Mr. Kavanagh, of were taken for i,,teiment to the burying ground of St. Molleu's. nev were attended by a considerable number-7 v a great body of the 'Gentry ) among whom were, tare present Mr. Kavanagh, successor to the de u,,ased Sir Ulysses Burgh and. Mr. Latour:be, Cie Candidates for the Coottly of Carlow ; Mr. ltitchefort ; Messrs Newton ; Mr. Prendergast, I.aw Agent to the deceased ; Mr. Fitzgerald ; Mr. Filly, of Gotyran Mr. Loftus ; Mr. Roberts, seyeial others. The Reverend Mr. Thomas attended to per f-rt» the finieral service -; arid, with that intention, living met the body at the entrance into the' ( hutch-yard, he -accordingly commenced this demo and aff!ctintg ceremony, aecoiding to the rites of the Established Church. He had, how ever, scarcel) , undettaken the devout and solemn duty which had devolved upon hits, when he felt ceverdyjostled, while some voices called (tilt to hint to leave the way"—bnt to neithet cl those circumstances did he seem to pay any at ten ion, and he pet sist4d in reading the service for the Blois! of the Dead. At length a stone, of about five pounds weight, was thrown at him, which, prosidenti.illy, did not strike him on the Lead, but on the shoulder. lie was immediately after forced a few paces out of the place where he bad been staioling,.and was very distinctly told, by :owe of those about him, that if he attempted to say a word more, they world knot k out his brains. While this denunciation was conommi .eatitig, the body of the rfectased was vi o lently re moved how the place where it was attended by a VASt enticollt:Se of people, who forced their .w.ay atter it, hnzzaing and shouting in a niost trtninphatit manner. At this moment, a Roman Catholic Gentleman, who witnessed the scene, adihessed .1;1.. Thomas, and begged of him not to persist, as his p-r•everanee would e nd an ger hi s safety. Mr. Archbold, who was standing tear tsi the Clergyman, t 'idea vourrd to appraie the crowd, Slid to "dissuade them front their shameful pro.. ceedings—hot his advice ,‘ as disregarded. Such Was the rage by which the people scrota to be actuated, that it teas Mr. Tinnnasss own opinion, that the interference of the Gentry preient, tau from ,inswering any good end, would only exaspe rate more, 511(1 prodnee worse effects. When the crowd removed the body from the Clergyman, they pot it into the grave vt hick had been pre pared for it, to which they consigned it without Any other ceremony of tel worship than their own prayers, there being no other Minister of reliiott present but Mr, Thomas. Mr. Kava nagh, the successor of the deceavd, whom indis position had confined to his .carriage, was ex tremely a:;:cted and disturbed at so unfeeling a display of fanatical violence. " offer any reasoning upon this transaction ould ansaer no good end. We hafe related it, as an eye winless kas vouched it, and we profess to eo no more. Tlfose who acted so shaintful a part, and who were, perhaps, composed of the low and ignorant—certainly of the low in intel lect, and the ignorant in all religions charity_ could not be reclaimed by any thing we may say ; those of puler principles, and of more enlightened sentiments, .who witnessed the cii'cunist Hnee, and vainly attempted to lessen its ferocity, do not require our lecture. We leave the matter to its own natural value, unaffected by any Commentaiy." DV.SPBRATE ATTEMPT AT TI-113 COUNT/ GAOL \ ' esterdav, about one o'clock, a number of pri soners, chiefly convicts, exceeding 100, made a stieden attack on the keepers of the Prison, for tie purpose of effecting an escape. Having stip plied themselves with a quantity of stones, which the unfinished state of the yard afforded, they commenced this rash and desperate attempt at the '(;,,or, when opened for the purpose of distribut i;ig clean linen . , &c. ; they then began an attack on Mr. Murphy, the keeper; and his assistants, ty a shower of stones, and succeeded in jamming the door so as to prevent' its being closed on them, by which three of the most active ring leaders gained the passage leading to the inner yard, but were almost instantly repulsed and se cnred by the activity of Garvan and Lamb, two of Mr. Murphy's principal assistants. Fortu nately, at this moment, the alarm was given to the Guard on duty, belonging to the 97th Regi limit, whose timely efforts enabled Mr. Murphy to compel the prisoners to return to their wards, and to secure in irons the most active in this mad rnterprize- We cannot omit noticing the cool • lies and steadiness evinced by Air, Murphy on this occasion, wliich prevented the loss probably uf EMMY lives, victims to their own ratslinebse— (Cork 4dt:el - aver, June 16.) WESTNUNSTER ELECTION. SEX TIN 1).1X. The Covent Garden Exhibition was continued yesteudAy, ‘vit,, no very nia:erial vtoiation from the uproar of the preccdiog day. At four 0'...10ck, kV hell the closed, the ininabt•rs were 9,s follows : llomilly 2 l'Sir Miirra); 2S9S Francis Burdett ....3140 I Mr. Hunt Mr. lists, on the put of the friends of Sir F. Burdett, beseeched the people to afford a candid and im:tartial hearing to every Gentleman who addressed them, without reference to the particu lar Candidate in whose behalf he rpoke. He knew be' was addressing English own, prowl of :heir rights, and aware of their value. They could never in Westminster he injured but by the departure from an upright and hollow-able course ; and a cause, such as :heir's, should be chat ac ie.rized by impartiality to the respective prisons w ho addressed them, ino,above all, by an absti.teuce from every thing outrageous and violent.— (Cheeriog.)—lie trusted, therefore, they would give a patient hearing to the Gentleman who, he uiderstood, was about to otter himself to their notice on the part of Sir Murray . Maxwell [" we'll hear hint."] Mr. ELets then stepped forward. It was; he said, his intention to communicate to them a message from Sir M. Maxwell, but, in the first instance, lie begged to thank the Gentleman %Ow bad just spcken for his courtesy towards hint.— He was sure that he had expressed the feelings of his principds, and that Sir S. Rontilly and Sir F. Burdett would never lend their names to sanction outrages like those which had recently oecnt red. He wished, for the sake of his Wend (Sir M. Maxwell) that those Gentlemen had been present through the Election, for they would have exert ed all their influence with their-friends to induce them to listen to what the gallant Captain had to say to the Electors. Ile had now to convey to i those he addressed the expression of deep regret on the part of Sir Murray Maxwell that he was still unable to appear before rhetn. He assured them, upou his conscience and honour, that to do so vras wholly out of his power. lie spoke from his own knowledge, having left Sir M. Maxwell's bed but tLro hours before the time at which lie was,then speaking. lie was sure there was not a man anion;; thenl who did not regret the outrage that had been committed—even the man who had struck Sir Murray had, be doubted not, by this time repenters what.he had done. That individual had acted from the impulse of the moment, for it did not belong to the character of Fin Englishman deliberately to attack an opponent who was not - prepared to dt feud himself. l lie would ask, what offt-nee had Sir M. Maxwell committed ? At the requisition of several E'ectors of Westminster he had offered himself to their choice. Ile was jus- 1 Cited in doing this, as every one must own, since he had only acted in obe , fience to the expressed wishes of a hotly of the Electors, at whose call he had come forward. This was his offence in the first instance, and how had he added to it since the Election had comMenced 1 Why, by enduring, with the utmost patience and good humour, the grossest insults that could he offered. The people of Westminster had long been in the habit of chusing a Naval Officer to represent them its Par liament : probably they were led to do so by an idea that such characters would be least connected oth those parties which at times disturbed the country by their contests, as naval men were only accustomed to serve under its fi tg. Those who hail wished Sir . Ni. Maxwell to 'represent the City of Westminster in Parliament, had, he was sore, exercised the soundest discretion, as he knew his friend to possess a sound judgment, an uptight heart, anti a fearless mind. - He felt prowl that these were a ll sir M. M ax well had to recommend him to their notice. Some objections hail been made to the conduct of certain distinguished in dividuals who had given the gallant Captain their votes. It would not be well for this country if .men of rank refused to vote at popular elections, long might they see them conic nastifully forward ou all such occasions. lie felt confi dent that ultimately Sir NI. Maxwell would tri umph, and this woiald prove to the world that virtue and courage were dilly appreciated and re warded by the voters of one of the most distin guished cities in the nation. The moment of Sir M Murray's recovery would, he trusted, he that 01 his return to Parliament as their Represen tative. Air. KINNAIan stepped forward, belt some disturbance in the clowd, which called for the in terference of the officers, turtle it impossible for him immediately to proceed. Ile feared, he said, he should but ill perform his duty this dry, from tire feelings which were excited in his breast bY seeing a constable's staff used, as he thought, un necessarily among the mob.--(The word " mob" being oLjected'to by some pet sons near him, he explained.)—Ele never felt more honoured titan when he was surrounded by ,what was called " mold,' for those of whom it was composed had in their torn clothes done more good than had been accomplished by all the court dresses in Europe. When he addressed them as a mob only meant a vast mass of people) be was not afraid of being misapprehended by the liberality of Eng lishmen. lie complimented them on the manner in which they had listened to the last speaker, while he spoke of the man (Sir M. Maxwell), and only interrupted when he touched on the motives which had caused an attempt to he 'made to foist him on them as their Representative. The out• rage that had been committed, b r condemned as much as any man could do, and would u‘o every means to bring the offender to justice, not so lunch for tire purpose of visiting him with vengeance, as for that of vindicating the Electors generally, by proving that it was the act of a maniac, and that they had no assassin among them. Such scenes, however, he must remark, were not usual in IVest rninster. Nothing of the kind had occurred dur ing the last fifteen years, when tie people were left to manage their Elections liv themselves. They had only been known when great folks thought proper to come forward! to (I() their busi ness for them. He then. energetically advocated the cause of Sir F. Burdett at considerable length, which he asserted to be that of Reform, in which they had ail one .common interest. Mr. BacHAßDsori, jou. spoke ill favour of Sir F. Bartlett, and complained that his friends 110 been represented, by the absent Candidate to be democrats. He denied that they deserved this character, and was eptally anxious to disclaim all connexion with Sir M. Maxwell and Sur S. Ito ()Idly. The cause of Sir F. Burdett could not be shaken by either, and did not want their counte nance and support. Mr. STURCH exulted in the events of the last three'days in the rjection of Sir W. Curtis in the City, and in the advance of Sir F. Burdett on the \VIsuART returned thanks for Sir S. Ro milly, and hoped the Electors would still exert themselves in favour ni the two independent Can didates. tie congratulated them on the inhabi tants of St.Martin-le-Grand having that day been restored to their elective franchise, and hoped the same right would soon be extended all over the country. IIUNT now came forward in his miginal unauspicious station. He was obliged to stand silent for h Inng time, in consequence of the up roar of disapprobation of every kind which his appearance had excited. He at length exclaim ed, " I am in no hurry ; never mind two or three geese." lie did not perceive any:great victory to-day by any of the Candidates.—(Where is your wile ?)—He had a higher object in view than to stand high on the poll ; he had come there to watch the proceedings, and to record to his countrymen the events which took place. He attempted then to make some use of the term " mob," as applied by Mr. Kinnaird, hut he fail ed, and was obliged to say that Mr. Kinnaird had no hid intention. lie next ventured to make an impression in his favour, by attacking the cha racter of Mr. Fox.—(Cries of Oliver, Hont, end Co. and whete is your wife ?)—Mr. - Hunt turned towards the hustings, and cried out, " Let sonic friend of mine go and learn that .scoundrel's name."—(This occasioned a great tumult w ithin the hustings ; Mr. Hunt rushed in, and remained there for some minotea ; when he returned he was heard with more attention.)—The cowardly scoundrel had been protected in the High Bailiff's box. Was that fair play ? He would not even give him his name, but he knew hitn—(a laugh ;) —he knew not his name, hat he knew his person, and he had seen him active every day of the poll as the friend of Sir FranciN Borden. -After the election they would soon learn and be con vi need that what was done there was of little effect. He cared nor which of the three Candidates were re turned. He had before told them that no good could arise from what was done in the House of Com mons. Their forefathers had fought for their liber ties, and the day would soon come when they must turn out and fight for their liberties.,--(Great confusion, and loud cries of " off o.")—lie would stand there till the last moment, uidess his life were taken, and if they should proceed to take the lives of " such men as me,"—(his own words, which excited unbounded derision and laughter,)—they could not tell were it would end. He would speak on while they protected him. IVithout their protection no man was safe. He had asked no man's vote, and yet up wards of sixty hail manfully come forward and voted for him. These sixty would yet appear in the .first rank, while the other Electors would be skulking behind their counters.—(A great up roar, and cries of " off, off.")—He should now give place to his friend, who was to address them. The public press paid him no attention, but he had got a Reporter for himself, and they should hare a full account of his speech in a cheap form. • Mr. G. JoNes accordingly followed, and, as he .came the Advocate of Mr. Hunt, expressed his in dignxtiou, with all the' force he could muster, against the idea of requiring Titivate decency of moral character horn a political MAII.
